WWE gets new home in United States! ESPN to stream WrestleMania, SummerSlam starting in 2026 - All you need to know

ESPN and WWE reached a five-year, $1.6 billion agreement that includes exclusive rights to air the wrestling company’s premier live events (PLE) beginning in 2026, according to the Wall Street Journal, as part of the Worldwide Leader’s new direct-to-consumers streaming service launching later this month.

Peacock currently has a contract to carry WWE's premium live events through March 2026. WrestleMania 42, WWE's biggest live event each year, is scheduled for April 18 and 19 in Las Vegas, so it could likely be the kick-off of the new rights agreement.
